I'll post a thread in the reviews section after I've used them a few times.

CD, I've read stuff in the past about the use of an MP3 player hooked to a device like this for use as A) An electronic calling device for conservation order snow goose calling. B) A better way than a boom box to play the Guns Up CD or other Field Trial simulation sounds for training.

Are you enough of a RadioShack type geek to suggest what components to put together to make that work?

Let's say, for example I have the MP3 player already. Can I plug this straight in, or do I need an amplifying device as well? Any ideas?

You could plug it right in, but you are correct that it wouldn't be very loud without a separate amplifier.

The PA horn speaker that I linked to, has a power handling range of 15 to 25 watts.
Less than 15 watts, would not produce much sound. More than 25 watts, would damage the speaker.

The biggest issue with using an mp3 player for this application, is how do you trigger the sound remotely?
